The HPAT-Ireland (Health Professions Admission Test-Ireland) is an admissions test used by Irish Medical Schools for undergraduate entry into medicine.

The HPAT-Ireland test measures a candidate’s logical reasoning and problem solving skills as well as non-verbal reasoning and the ability to understand the thoughts, behaviour and/or intentions of people.  The test results will complement the Leaving Certificate Examination assessment for selecting applicants for admission to an undergraduate Medical School programme.

The UMAT (Undergraduate Medical and health sciences Admissions Test) is a test used in Australia for over 25 years for entry into medicine. It is exactly the same as the HPAT in all aspects – purpose, form and content. It is administered by the same organisation (Australian Council for Educational Research).
